How to intergrate Netflix as seemless as possible.

tuxen Wrote:Like you I could not find anything conclusive.
But everywere you read it seems to be expected for most if not all systems late this year. It also seems there an old site about some conversion for some dodgy surround: http://2011/02/netflix-tip-how-to-get-su...sound.html
Have not read it.

I'd like to hear about the results though.

Yeah I had seen something like this before. Dolby ProLogic II can take a stereo source and emulate surround sound.

I am having a hard time finding a pre-eden executor, any tips?

I'm assuming this is an older version of the executer plugin?
Why would you need that, your XBMC version or has it something to do with the article coz I have not read it, and now I can't get to the page. I'm wondering what the difference is to you?

I assume to that it did not work setting the speaker number in WMC?

Otherwise think all we can do is just wait, hopefully just a bit, soon as it reach XBOX360 (if it hasnt allready) I think MS will follow shortly with WMC Netflix.

I am following your install instructions and I cannot find a Exceuter plug in from the add-on repository, I am running one of the pre-eden nightly builds.

I havent been able to fully install Netflix using your instructions, however once I do I will try it.

I know there is a Netflix plug in for WMC, however I am not sure how you could get XBMC to use it. Im a IT guy, but not one of you really smart software guys

Many add on's are missing in the repository if you run nightly's.
I'm not sure but i think it's they are broken at the time if you are running beta's (thats what i assume) or what? I think the only sollution is to go with the official builds.

In general there's no reason to run nightly's, unless you absolutely want to test a new feature, otherwise I think you are just torturing yourself running a new beta everyday. Things move real fast in the XBMC source.

XBMC 10.1 was made with RC's and new features where not implemented before all bugs were cleaned out. You should follow this road, coz I doubt the XBMC team will support any nightly beta.

If you live outside US you will probably need a little guidance.

If you live US I think you should have gotten the WMC tv update automaticaly, if not try run this .bat file http://81.161.149.87:8080/updmce/mcefupd.bat

You can check it if you run snetflix.exe Netflix should load automatically.

Or maybe that's not the issue and I misunderstood you totally.

Tuxen,

I love your hulu and netflix solutions. Went to them due to addons breaking.

I have ran into an oddity, recently, with snetflix.exe--older and newest as of Aug 25th, I think, from this thread, when running from xbmc using executor or advanced launcher. snetflix.exe works fine when launching from cmd or mouse.

Windows title: MediaCenterWebLauncher.exe - application failure
Error: the application was unable to start correctly (0x000007b)

I tested with 10.1 and 8/31 nightly with the same results. Suggestions? I am willing to admit it may be on my end.

Also, any chance of a sboxee.exe? Killing myself trying to launch it.

Respectfully,

Shalun

Hi Shalun, look at the first post again, load the guide and download snetflix.exe from the guide. That's the latest version from 31. august.

Have you tried cleaning out directories to se if anything got left behind, it happens with some plugins unfourtunately. Or maybe rename snetflix.exe and doing it all again. I've seen weird cache behavior in some skins.

Only think I say is try replicate the error on another computer, if you can't something must be leftover somewhere on your computer. And don't use a nightly.

Otherwise we can try a roll back to the first version, but I really don't think that it's the snetflix causing your error.

Regards tuxen

Tuxen you are correct and after an embarrassing amount of time trying to determine root cause, I just formatted my box, I am back up and running.

The problem persisted even after an uninstall and deletion of xbmc's program and appdata directory. Very frustrating but there must be information stored elsewhere. I have a clonezilla image to recover if I have repeat.

Thank you for your guidance.
